Necro, but it is outright stated by official Capcom material that Argosax and Mundus are meant to be equal.

If I were to judge just based off of the lore itself, Argosax certainly feels stronger. Mundus comes across as the deceiving/smart ruler, while Argosax in my view comes across as a literal embodiment of nature, a natural entity, hence why his "Despair Embodied' name is fitting.

Not only that - Argosax took Sparda + an entire clan of powerful sorcerers who had information on him to beaten, while Mundus and his whole army were easily dispatched by Sparda alone.

Granted that, in the latter case, Sparda was at full power, while in the former case with Argosax, Sparda only had access to like half of his power, but it all evens out.
